Eclipse - A Journey Of Permanence And Impermanence

[Guest psysaber[at]hotmail[dot]com]

I agree with the above. One of my favorite songs would have to be #4, the

"Equinox" track by Subkha! It's got this *vicious*, dubby bassline that goes

(ahem) 'VHOOM, DUH-DUH DUN-DUN DUH-DUH..VHOOOOOM'. =) That's accompinied by

this Arabian/Persian horn instrument that just howels along with it. A very

ethnic piece with wicked dub elements that only Simon, Raja, and Sheldon know

how execute best!! The CD definately has the 'Shpongle quality' journey

factor built into it also...

Review:

 

What an exceptional album, I think its a masterpeice. This is one CD that

everyone should have. Probably everyone does. All of the tracks except 5 and 6

are Simon Posford collaborations. None of the tracks are bad. 10/10

This CD has to be one of the best so far in downtempo.

It is definatly a journey which takes you somewhere far away from reality. One

of my favorite track from this abum is Anubis - Invocation .. It has the most

amazing vocals...All tracks are Rad! 10/10 .. We need more albums like this...

[Guest Vystril[at]aol[dot]com]

one of the best ambient cds ever made, if not the best nothing like

listening to this on a bright sunny day in a field...

 

this album just always takes me places

 

amazing amazing amaznig

 

10/10

[Guest TRISTAN]

Absolutly delicious.. I agree with the above, prolly the best ambient CDs ever

made. can`t not love it!

Subkha - Equinox is so trippy...

9/10

[Guest rox]

not as god as a Shpongle album ( which was made after it ) , but anything very

good work ! Btw - its more chill than shpongle . my rating 8,7/10

[freak51]

What, are we calling this Goa now? Can I put it in my top 5 albums yet? If

you don't have it, you need it.

[Guest boomwizard[at]hotmail[dot]com]

Everyone's right this IS GENIUS out of the speekers 10/10.

[Guest Ehsanur]

Shit,this kind of music makes me hooked. Hooked on that

feeling when u are sitting in your room,chilling and watching the sunrise. And

going backward and backward and backward to the markets of New Dehli....feel

the heat,smell he inscence,listen to the hasty voices and watch that big

fluoroscent Ganesha-poster. Enough droooling...

 

Thsi cd is amazing and starts of with maybe the most

genious song ever made by the human race. "And the day turned into night..." is

taken (or opposite?) from the

almighty Shpongle. But the main cookie in this delicious

jar,is the contribution by Doof that made me go crazy for several weeks about

this cd. Although I must say that Doof has recently fallen behind compared to

other artists (their part 4 on Mysteri of the yeti 2 was

disappointing ),"Balashwar Bakseesh" is one of a kind, God knows how much I

love this song and how my faith in psychedelia was growing out of dimensions.

I wont push anybody, but enjoying some natural stimulants makes this

audiovisual journey a pure joyride. Anyway,every song is so well linked

together,like an eternal mantra ..liquid floatation.

It does not come as any surprise that Simon Posford(+Raja Ram) and Total

Eclipse are the founder of this

audiotemple of delightment. 10*/10

If every ambient album was like this... I wouldn't listen to anything else.

This is one of those albums you hide from everyone and not tell anyone about

until after an intense full on night of partying..... then everyone is like

'what the fuck'... anyway best ambient cd out there right now.... 10/10..

absolutely amazing

[Guest slinker]

ahhhhhhhh....bliss =^,^= 9.99999/10

[Guest acca[at]fiberia[dot]com]

If you're listening to this with crappy speakers or

earphones, you're missing out. There is a *VERY* wicked

DEEEEEP bass on a few tracks, esp. Invocation (my fave)

and Purple Pygmies. Stuff to vibrate you to the bone!

The music has already been commented on; what else can I say? 10/10

[Guest Chai whaller]

Nice-that Doof track is really true-psychedelic trance, if only more trance is

made in that context.

[Guest Davidtolsn]

this is THE BEST ambient cd ever made. very deep, very psychedelic... you must

have this cd. 10/10

[soem aeld]

very niiiice! I'm glad I found it here in little Sweden . A pure pleasure to

listen to.. very nice arabic feel in it *me likes that a LOT*. But I must say

that the Doof track is probably the best track.. great album! If you find

it, buy it before someone else does! 10/10! Plurries, Sunsquid

[Guest MG]

One of the best 2nd hand buys I will ever make, They've planted a seed. 7 out

of 8 tracks I like (Rare!) I am still unsure about that chick singing the

national anthem of some country (France?) on tr 3 but otherwise I LOVE this

CD!!!!

[Guest pralien[at]shpongle[dot]com]

... ECLIPSE, IT IS.

11/10

[Children]

I FINALLY found it here in Paris and ... that's a PURE JEWEL ! All Tracks are

good but the Shpongle and Doof ones are just wonderful :-) That's such quality

stuff then I can't believe it was composed in 1998 ! One advice : listen to

the WHOLE comp loud in your car if you have good stereo ... you won't believe

it ! All Tracks are made in part by Simon Posford except the Doof and Total

Eclipse one, which is also very nice.

Rating : 8.5/10

SuPaTeD... www.psyshop.com has this in stock now, but who knows for how long.

Better hurry, I'm ordering mine tonight! Good luck---Larry

[Guest xa27[at]ukr[dot]net]

if there would be a "top 10 psy albums" i would give all 10 positions to this

work. when i heard it for the first time i could not believe that it was a

compilation. all tracks are so good. this cd will always be better than any

other psy release ever. i would like to thank all the artists behind this

project. b e s t

Balashwaar Baksheesh : live eclipse!
